Chapter 320: Lucius Malfoy

Felix glanced around as he smiled lightly, some returned a smile, others gazed warily, and some lowered their heads as if they did not see him. "Felix! I've been looking forward to your arrival." Sirius took a big stride over, as he hugged Felix and whispered, "Thank goodness, I almost thought I got mixed up in the Death Eaters' camp."

Felix smiled and whispered, "You called them here, didn't you?"

Sirius sighed, " They're all in-laws, written in the family tree, no way ... Frank, and Alice, were uncomfortable, too." He let go of Felix as Harry, Ron, and Draco walked over.

"Professor." "Professor Hap." "Hello, Professor Hap." They said at the same time.

Felix nodded at them and Draco glanced at the other two, seeing that they had no intention of leaving, he whispered, "Professor, my father would like to speak to you alone ..." Harry and Ron's eyes immediately widened, like a cat that has smelled a rat.

"Now?" Felix looked in the direction of the Malfoy couple in surprise, Lucius Malfoy embracing his wife and holding a snakehead cane in his other hand, talking and laughing with Mr. Crouch. Crouch's face looked blank, he rarely spoke, as he mostly listened, and occasionally responded with "yes," "I agree," or "perhaps there is a better way. ".

In between words, Lucius looked this way with a reserved smile, "Excuse me, Mr. Crouch." He walked over, switched his cane to his left side, and extended his right hand, "Hello, Mr. Hap, I've been looking forward to meeting you formally."

"Mr. Malfoy-"

"Call me Lucius, I'll call you Felix as well, I'm close to Severus." Lucius Malfoy said, their hands clasped together, "I was his Head of Grade when he enrolled." He said as his grey eyes fixed on Felix.

"Well, Lucius, are you trying to find out how young Malfoy is doing in school?"

"Actually ... it's something personal." Lucius said.

"Well then," Felix said with a nod, "this way please --"

The two men went to a secluded corner, behind an oak tree, with Lucius' face half-hidden in the shadows. From a distance, Harry and Ron peered blatantly, and Ron looked at Draco and asked, "What kind of conspiracy you guys are up to?"

Draco looked at him contemptuously, Ron's robe seemed to be an altered old robe, the edges of the cuffs were whitened, and the colour is not considered pure black anymore, "If I were you, I would die of shame wearing such a robe to appear in front of others - little Ronniee..." He trailed it off.

Ron trembled with anger, Harry hurriedly pulled him back, it is Regulus' funeral, he did not want them to fight here, Harry stepped in front of Ron, intending to taunt Draco Malfoy a few words, but a surprised voice sounded behind Draco, making his body stiffen.

"Draco, you just, just-" Narcissa looked at him hesitantly, her eyes darting between her son and Ron with an expression of having heard a shocking secret, her blue eyes widened.

"Mom! It's not what you think-" Draco scrambled to explain that the nickname he had spoken was just a taunt and nothing more.

"Draco Malfoy, come with me." Narcissa said with a stern face as she straightened the clothes she is wearing.

Draco opened his mouth and hung his head in defeat as he followed his mother.

Harry and Ron looked at each other and after a moment, Ron suddenly jolted, his face scrunched up into a frown, "She can't be thinking of--so disgusting!" Harry stifled his laughter and said, "At least, Malfoy will never call you like that again."

They scouted towards the large oak tree where Professor Hap and Lucius Malfoy were talking, speculating on what they would talk about. But the reality is, they can only keep going in circles on the edge.

"... I've sent my letter to Dumbledore expressing my concern that Muggles and wizards should exist on two parallel paths, but unfortunately, stories like The Fountain of Youth, which promotes intermarriage between wizards and Muggles, are still circulating widely." Lucius assumed a moral stance.

He said softly, "I do not want my son to be influenced by reading such stories, which would taint his pure bloodline, I have always guarded him with fear as his father, helping him to resist the distractions from the complex world outside ... but, suddenly, I found that there is someone whose influence on Draco's increasing over time even more than his own father, and for the first time he refuted me. Using a comic book content."

Felix smiled and said, "People always grow up, they won't always live the way their parents wanted them to. As a professor, it's quite an accomplishment to gain the favour of my students."

"But don't you think it's a bit excessive meddling." Lucius Malfoy said coldly.

"What do you mean, the Christmas present, or something else?"

"With all due respect, Felix, you are Severus' proud student, and we naturally belong to the same camp." Lucius said, his gray eyes narrowing, "I have some shallow, not-worth mentioning prestige in pureblood circles, and we are not that old-fashioned - fresh blood are equally welcome."

"Lucius, you should have heard the things I did ..." Felix said, feeling that the conversation between the two only now getting down to the business.

" Threatening some stupid, blind fools who can't see what's going on?" Lucius said, "They won't stand in our way when we develop a friendship between us. You and the Malfoys have never had a conflict."

"I'm close to muggles ..."

"As long as it doesn't interfere with Draco."

"Some purebloods would strongly disagree ..."

"I'll mediate between them."

"I have no interest in stupid people ..."

"And I'm exactly opposite, you'll find that with a bit of force, they would also be able to use their brains."

" I am a Muggle-born..."

"To be precise - Raised in a Muggle orphanage," Lucius said slyly, "From the talent, you have shown, we have every reason to believe that you are fairly pure-blooded, and if you wish, I will investigate and produce a 'satisfactory' result that will do you justice."

Felix smiled, he knew Lucius's intention, he represents a part of people, as Felix's presence is getting stronger and more influential, some people can no longer sit back, so they're trying to release a friendly signal, if they can pull him into their camp, it is an excellent option.

He believed that, as long as he asked, those families who had offended him, will quietly decline, the company that he had yet to start, will also be able to grow rapidly with the support of hidden forces, and perhaps after a few years of staying at Hogwarts, he will be able to freely choose between the position of Hogwarts Headmaster and Minister of Magic.

Seeing that he seemed to be hesitating, Lucius cautioned with an undertone, "The past shouldn't become a hindrance, we should look forward, don't you think so?"

"There's only one problem-"

"What?"

"There's only one problem, Lucius," Felix said, looking into his gray eyes, "You have reminded me to look forward ... but I see further than you could ever imagine! --"

Lucius frowned.

"Do you know occlumency?" Felix suddenly changed the subject and asked.

Lucius gave a puzzled look, and Felix finally advised him, "There's no harm in learning it a bit more, you'll need it. Maybe then we'll have a chance to work together."
